	Lyrics Tom was an old sailor who lived by the sea one day he awoke and found a family his wife swore she loved him and begged him to stay but he untied the ropes and he sailed away "When you came a courtin' with the salt in your hair I loved you and you told me you thought I was fair we married bore six kids and you worked on the docks please don't leave me on this island of salty grey rocks" "Well I never wanted nothin' but to sail the ocean blue but now I've been trapped here by the children and you so I'm goin on my way in my trusty sailin boat" and he gathered his sack and he gathered his coat "Well leave us" she cried "and sail far away you wont be welcomed back here to this little bay if you love the grey old sea more than your wife well you may as well go and give it your life" Strangely enough his old wife was not sad she smiled as she remembered the gold that he had she'd hid it from him since the day they were married and now he has little in the sack that he carries "Curse you!" he cried when he reached his first port and realised he had none of the gold he had caught he was forced to work here in this little old town and now he's a drunkard of great renown.
